Sulfur as a selective ‘soft’ oxidant for catalytic methane conversion probed by experiment and theory
TL;DR: In this paper, a process using gaseous sulfur as a soft oxidant for selective conversion to ethylene over metal sulfide catalysts has been developed, and simulations show that both methane activation and ethylene selectivity is linearly correlated with catalyst metal-sulfur bond strength.

Enhanced photocatalytic activity of titania–silica mixed oxide prepared via basic hydrolyzation
TL;DR: In this article, two different synthesis routes were applied to prepare TiO2-XSiO2 (X denotes mol% of silica in titania-silica mixed oxides) with different silica concentrations by using ammonia water as hydrolysis catalyst.

Influence of ceria and nickel addition to alumina-supported Rh catalyst for propane steam reforming at low temperatures
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of ceria and nickel addition to alumina-supported Rh catalyst for steam reforming of propane at low temperatures has been studied by preparing and examining 2.

Synthesis of highly active sulfate-promoted rutile titania nanoparticles with a response to visible light.
TL;DR: The results show sulfate species are sensitive to the variation of calcination temperature and the excellent photoactivity of 300 degrees C calcined SO(4)(2-)/TiO(2) can be explained by its small crystalline size, high surface area, loose and porous microstructure, and the generation of Brønsted acidity on its surface.

Sulfur poisoning mechanism of steam reforming catalysts: an X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopic study
TL;DR: It is concluded that sulfur causes the initial deactivation of the Ni catalyst by metal sulfide formation in the first few hours while build-up of carbon deposits contributes mainly to the subsequent deactivation.
